"Run away from measurable value of uranium and remove the tail of this parasite is painstaking."(10)
Slightly hard for a Monday, but I am sure you will solve it.
[edit] forgot the penultimate word 'is'.

PARTICULAR somehow?

Not right, but very good!
And not entirely a million miles away from the answer.

Thanks, but I now cannot get any alternate answers. 
*Trying harder staring screen*

stridulous?
run away - STRIDE
from measurable value of - ?
uranium - U
remove tail of this parasite - LOUSE
|
|
|
|
|
-ULOUS seems the key now.
If the previous one is not the answer, I'll give a last shot: meticulous/scrupulous

This is the first time I ever attempt this.
I am stuck on the parasite part
Run away - Fast
measurable value - ID
of uranium - U
remove the tail of this parasite - ?
painstaking - FastIdious
|

I got the last part pretty quickly but I am ashamed to admit how long it took to get the first bit 
run = r
measurable value = metric
run away from measurable value = metic
uranium = u
parasite = louse
remove the tail of this parasite = lous
meticulous = very precise about details, even trivial ones; painstaking

Damn, I just tried my last shot in the dark, but you have already posted it with solution. I couldn't have got METRIC part in 3 hours anyway.
Great.

Pipped me to the post. I also had trouble getting the beginning part.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I got stuck so went off and watched an episode of Dexter for inspiration. It worked!

Well done.

Run away from measurable value METIC (METRIC without the R)
of uranium U
and remove the tail of this parasite LOUS(E)
METICULOUS: is painstaking
Prerak's work helped me.
